Euskirchen is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, capital of the Euskirchen (district)|district Euskirchen. While Euskirchen resembles a modern shopping town, it also has a history dating back over 700 years, having been granted town-status in 1302.
Parts of the ancient town wall, and three of its defensive towers, are still standing. Many find Euskirchen an attractive location, due to the proximity of two large cities, Cologne and Bonn, to the North-East, and the hills of the Eifel region to the South. As of December 2005, it had a population of just over 55,000.
It is also the birthplace of Emil Fischer, born 1852, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1902. German pop singer Jamie Stevens (who has achieved international fame in the late 1990's) was also born in Euskirchen but does not reside there anymore.
